AVCampos Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 And/or the Technic team needs to be convinced to produce more non-machinery sets, even if only as B-models. Quote

blondasek Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) The dino is amazing. AMAZING. You outdid yourself again :) Bravo @grohl! PS. if it is not a secret, are you designing something new for Lego? I.e. new technic set for 2023 lineup? PPS. @Jim wildlife badge is needed, like @Jurss sugested :) Edited March 25, 2022 by blondasek Rephrased the question :) Quote

Well, that's indeed not a secret: he is an official Technic designer at LEGO. The difference is that he still does these side-projects as a MOCer AFOL. Quote

What was the latest model designed by him after Land Rover? Quote
AVCampos Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Amongst the sets already released, the latest is the pullback Mustang. As for designing a set right now, I don't doubt it... but we're not allowed to know any details. Quote

Regarding Grohl's creations there is an interesting thing going on if anyone visits this Brickset page For example, the Flexari's prototype was designed by Grohl as noted: Created only the first prototype of this car. Then, for 2022 polybag lil fella there is this note too: Built the first concept prototype for this model. Looks like Grohl lends his helping hands towards other popular models Edit: this page was not as informative as this is right now few maybe couple a months ago. It's really good to see such contribution anyways. For example, the 42129 Zetros's trivia section. Edited April 8, 2022 by thekoRngear Quote
grohl Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 The Offroad Tipper Truck with Diesel Generator is my very first alternate build of the 42126 Ford Raptor F-150. The model features: - Live axle suspension on both axles - Front axle steering - V6 mid engine with moving pistons driven by rear axle with differential - Opening doors and adjustable steering column in the cab - 2-way tipping bed with self locking linkage - Locking bed rear - Folding bed sides with lock that can be easily removed if needed - Diesel generator Quote
Jim Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 That is a very cool creation. To be honest, I think you will be getting "this one is better than the A-model" a lot Quote

Maaboo the Witch Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Dammit, Reindl, stop making me want every set in existence! Seriously though, this build blows me away! It's better than the A-model (yup, Jim's prophecy has been fulfilled)! Quote
gyenesvi Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 That’s a pretty cool looking truck, I like the parts usage especially on the cab. The steering solution at the front axle is interestingly simple, the way it pushes up the whole steering shaft! :) Quote
grohl Posted May 4, 2022 Author Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Thank you for all the positive feedback on the truck. May the Fourth be with you. Another Star Wars inspired alternate build of the 42117 Race plane is here. The IMPERIAL SHUTTLE is my 26th alternate build of the 42117 LEGO Technic Race Plane I designed. The Shuttle features synchronised folding wing movement. You can build a display stand similar to the one shown in the video. Edited May 4, 2022 by grohl Quote
grohl Posted June 4, 2022 Author Posted June 4, 2022 Mosquito Plane is my 22nd alternate model of the 42117 Race Plane and features synchronized rotation on both the propellers. Rolls well and is very swooshable. Quote
astyanax Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 This whole thread stands as a masterclass in creative building with limited parts. True Lego spirit. Cheers! Quote
